1. With the praise of Allah, Lord of the Worlds
And praise to you, O Commander of the Faithful

2. We have faced in your enemy what we have faced
We have attained victory and clear triumph

3. They have caused harm and you have waged war
So you were the greatest in valor and striking

4. You have taken their borders in the east and west
And purified the lands and fortresses

5. And before the war you already waged a war
Whose outcomes became apparent and evident to us

6. You made incidents submit through it and relent
And left the emperors confused

7. You have gathered for us kingdoms and peoples
And they had types of policies

8. So when their George erupted arrogantly
He found no helper against you

9. He saw how the path was to destruction
And the consequences of excessive recklessness

10. And how you sleep, O Abdul Hamid
Oblivious to the blood of humankind

11. No, by God, and the honorable messengers
And your house, the best house among people

12. When they were there while your vengeance sword
Equals their whole group against our fetus

13. You saw when impudence increased
And emboldened their king until he was brazen

14. So claims from him came one after another
And your armies came invalidating them

15. With cavalry in the plateaus and prairies
And fire on the citadels and hills

16. And a sword that does not relent or be partial
When terms become flexible to it

17. And an army of conquerors after conquerors
They are the heroes of the past and future

18. And of generosity they humiliated every rebel
And humiliated in the battle of the faithful

19. After their affliction in every war
And blow to the kingdoms, what blow?

20. Foolish boys in the attire of a nation
Coveting to trample their den

21. Soldiers whose wounds time is a remedy
Healed by the far-famed ruddy dark knight

22. So he helped in Tesalya and more
And it was an impregnable fortress for the enemy

23. Routier, do not tread snakes silently
And stop your recklessness, O reckless one

24. Ask the Greeks, did their fleet stand firm
And was the path to Athens preserved?

25. God forbid! Never, never!
They are the weak ignoble sailors

26. And their fleet at sea is nothing
But flotsam, jetsam, neither sailing nor coming

27. And how many armies of wishes they sent
That came to the Abode of Felicity in safety

28. And marched no more than two days
So welcome, O conquering invaders

29. And in Istanbul they were victorious a victory
And they besieged Petersburg, bombarding it

30. So for the Muslims and the Christians
And for the Tsar and other kings!

31. And William, where can you flee
When George and his soldiers raided

32. So the sea was too narrow for their ships
And the land was too narrow as they fled in panic

33. Matters that make children laugh
And the wise do not know their essence

34. So ask Reuters and Havas about them
For they both have certain knowledge

35. And the day of Malouna when we screamed and shouted
We remembered God in joy and lamented

36. And consolation revolved among them in the souls
And the consolation of faith revolved within us

37. On the two mountains we spent the night
And we killed them, their wished-for death, and they died

38. And we have died with steadfastness and they resisted unto death
But the stoics are not like those who endure patiently

39. We made the ground sink to swallow the citadels
Growing more defiant, so we increase the bombardment

40. With fire that annihilates generations entirely
And takes up their fire, even those who ignite it

41. Cannons that do not relent without provision
Volcanoes that target without depletion

42. We have set them up for them in every valley
So be death or the dearest wish of the eyes

43. We have made the ground beneath them blood
And we have made the smoke a sky for them

44. And when they sought shelter from the fire
Our swords protected us from them in groups

45. And how many revered, elderly holy warrior
Mountains bowed down before him but he did not bow

46. He wanted to mount death bedecked
To his ancestors, the martyrs

47. He bid his steed farewell as he grieved for it
As their rifles were pointed at him

48. And their bullets struck to bloody his hands
And his arms were about to betray him

49. He was accustomed to strike and be struck
So he was addressed to descend but did not answer

50. And he spoke, having uttered appropriately:
His valor increased from dignity

51. A roaring lion of the fierce Turks
He went towards a fire - what fire!

52. To precede his Creator as a friend
So the regiments and chiefs besieged him

53. And our crescent banner revolved on the right
When they submitted that we are demise

54. And we are the best who have led elite forces
Their group dispersed except the remnants

55. On the mountain peaks wavering
The prayer of God, my Lord, and peace

56. Upon those killed at Plevna who stayed
They are the martyrs around God they thronged

57. So He brought them near, and they were the winners
They attained the kingdom - what an opening!

58. And built the caliphate - what a marvel!
And they came to their Lord with a sacrifice

59. He accepted, and He was pleased with it
Peace upon Plevna, peace

60. And be the best place for he who stayed
And He was pleased with it even if its bones withered

61. The angels revolve around it hovering
O Edhem, are glories achieved thus?

62. Are they achieved with ships and transports?
You have whitened the nights for the kingdom

63. With a sword that exposes the clear dawn
You have taken victory at the two mountains by force

64. You were the pouncing, leaping lion
You carried cannons, so cheeks filled with fright

65. The ignorant assume them to be fighters
And in Plevna you have come with wonders

66. You laid the army, reading it like a book
And you counted it gate by gate

67. While they were oblivious to your book
The resolution remained hopeful of you

68. Messages and couriers come to you
And around you are the trusted consultants

69. Who lead the armies victoriously
There the newspapers told tales

70. And telegrams communicated news
And the kingdoms talked holding

71. Sciences of war and skills from you
O sons of Othman, we have determined

72. Your great conquests and have thanked
We asked God for victory, so we were victorious

73. Through you, and God is best guardian
